Extends equivariant contact structure results to mod p L-spaces.

New invariant recovers known contact element and considers finite coverings.

Generalizes Floer homotopy via Morse-Bott theory.

For a compact Lie group acting on a smooth manifold, we define the differential cohomology of a certain quotient stack involving principal bundles with connection. This produces differential equivariant cohomology groups that map to the Cartan-Weil equivariant forms and to Borel's equivariant integral cohomology. We sh…

Let X be a locally symmetric space associated to a reductive algebraic group G defined over Q. L-modules are a combinatorial analogue of constructible sheaves on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification of X; they were introduced in [math.RT/0112251]. That paper also introduced the micro-support of an L-module, a com…

Defines log Floer cohomology for symplectic surfaces with a degenerate part.

We generalize Lagrangian Floer cohomology to sequences of Lagrangian correspondences. For sequences related by the geometric composition of Lagrangian correspondences we establish an isomorphism of the Floer cohomologies. We give applications to calculations of Floer cohomology, displaceability of Lagrangian correspond…

We consider Lagrangian Floer cohomology for a pair of Lagrangian submanifolds in a symplectic manifold M. Suppose that M carries a symplectic involution, which preserves both submanifolds. Under various topological hypotheses, we prove a localization theorem for Floer cohomology, which implies a Smith-type inequality f…

We describe an explicit semi-algebraic partition for the complement of a real hyperplane arrangement such that each piece is contractible and so that the pieces form a basis of Borel-Moore homology. We also give an explicit correspondence between the de Rham cohomology and the Borel-Moore homology.

Various Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomologies are defined for a closed, oriented 3-manifold; and if it is the mapping torus of an area-preserving surface automorphism, it has an associated periodic Floer homology as defined by Michael Hutchings. We construct an isomorphism between a certain version of Seiberg-Witten Floer …

We compute the rational Borel equivariant cohomology ring of a cohomogeneity-one action of a compact Lie group.

Develops Floer cohomology for 4-manifolds with involutions and links.

The BPS decomposition theorem splits cohomology of symmetric stacks into invariant parts.

We define an integer graded symplectic Floer cohomology and a Fintushel-Stern type spectral sequence which are new invariants for monotone Lagrangian sub-manifolds and exact isotopes. The Z-graded symplectic Floer cohomology is an integral lifting of the usual Z_Sigma(L)-graded Floer-Oh cohomology. We prove the Kunneth…

We define an integer graded symplectic Floer cohomology and a spectral sequence which are new invariants for monotone Lagrangian sub-manifolds and exact isotopies. Such an integer graded Floer cohomology is an integral lifting of the usual Floer-Oh cohomology with $Z_{\Si (L)}$ grading. As one of applications of the sp…

Explicitly found generators of cohomology for SL_n(Z) using sharbly cycles and cosharbly cocycles.

Study finite group actions on 4-manifolds, finding rank bounds.

We introduce the notion of pullback along a measurable cocycle and we use it to extend the Borel invariant studied by Bucher, Burger and Iozzi to the world of measurable cocycles. The Borel invariant is constant along cohomology classes and has bounded absolute value. This allows to define maximal cocycles. We conclude…

The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationships between the quantum D-module and equivariant Floer theory. Equivariant Floer theory was introduced by Givental in his paper ``Homological Geometry''. He conjectured that the quantum D-module of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the equivariant Floer cohom…

Study computes SL(2,C) Floer cohomology for surgeries on knots.

Given a closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold with positive first Betti number, one can define an instanton Floer group as well as a quilted Lagrangian Floer group. The quilted Atiyah-Floer conjecture states that these cohomology groups are isomorphic. We initiate a program for proving this conjecture.

Floer theory constructs filtrations on quantum cohomology for symplectic manifolds.

Develops Floer theory for 3-manifold covers using equivariant structures.

L-modules are a combinatorial analogue of constructible sheaves on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification of a locally symmetric space. We define the micro-support of an L-module; it is a set of irreducible modules for the Levi quotients of the parabolic Q-subgroups associated to the strata. We prove a vanishing th…

Develops equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Floer cohomology for 3-spheres.

We give a presentation for the Floer cohomology ring $HF^*(Σ\times S^1)$, where $Σ$ is a Riemann surface of genus bigger than one, which coincides with the conjectural presentation for the quantum cohomology ring of the moduli space of flat SO(3)-connections of odd degree over $Σ$. We study the spectrum of the action o…

Constructs equivariant cohomology models for differentiable stacks.

This paper computes fixed point Floer cohomology for Dehn twists on surfaces.

Constructs a cyclic, filtered, strictly unital curved $A_{\infty}$ category for Lagrangian submanifolds and develops Floer theory.

The Spencer cohomology of certain graded Lie superalgebras are completely computed. This cohomology is interpreted as analogs of Riemann and Penrose tensors on supermanifolds. The results make it manifest that there is no simple generalization of Borel-Weil-Bott's theorem for Lie superalgebras.

Introduces linear K-systems for Hamiltonian Floer theory.

We compute the Bott-Morse Floer cohomology of the Clifford torus in $\CP^n$ with all possible spin-structures. Each spin structure is known to determine an orientation of the moduli space of holomorphic discs, and we analyze the change of orientation according to the change of spin structure of the Clifford torus. Also…

The main result of the paper is a Borel type description of the $Sp(1)^n$-equivariant cohomology ring of the manifold $Fl_n(\mathbb{H})$ of all complete flags in $\mathbb{H}^n$. To prove this, we obtain a Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson type description of that ring.

We construct the TQFT on symplectic cohomology and wrapped Floer cohomology, possibly twisted by a local system of coefficients, and prove that the TQFT respects Viterbo restriction maps and the canonical maps from ordinary cohomology. We also construct the module structure of wrapped Floer cohomology over symplectic c…

Consider the middle perversity intersection cohomology groups of various compactifications of a Hermitian locally symmetric space. Rapoport and independently Goresky and MacPherson have conjectured that these groups coincide for the reductive Borel-Serre compactification and the Baily-Borel-Satake compactification. Thi…

Study stabilizes Morse-Bott cohomology for equivariant manifolds.

This is the first of five papers that construct an isomorphism between the embedded contact homology and Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomology of a compact 3-manifold with a given contact 1-form. This paper describes what is involved in the construction.

Study shows infinite Hofer diameter for Lagrangian orbits in cotangent bundles.

Floer cohomology is computed for certain elements of the mapping class group of a surface $Σ$ of genus $g>1$ which are compositions of positive and negative dehn twists along some loops in $Σ$. The computations cover a certain class of pseudo-Anasov maps.

Analytic lattice cohomology defined for isolated singularities, linking to Heegaard Floer cohomology.

The paper finds non-isotopic exact Lagrangians in symplectic manifolds with $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions.

Paper solves quantum differential equations for projective bundles using Borel multitransforms.

New invariant connects symplectic fillings and contact structures.

We describe the Cartan and Weil models of twisted equivariant cohomology together with the Cartan homomorphism among the two, and we extend the Chern-Weil homomorphism to the twisted equivariant cohomology. We clarify that in order to have a cohomology theory, the coefficients of the twisted equivariant cohomology must…

We construct Bott-type and stable equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance.

Proves conditions for nearby special Lagrangians in Calabi-Yau manifolds.

This is a research monograph on symplectic cohomology (disguised as an advanced graduate textbook), which provides a construction of this version of Hamiltonian Floer cohomology for cotangent bundles of closed manifolds. The focus is on the aspects of the theory that have been neglected in the literature: (1) the base …
